The pMy vector series: A versatile cloning platform for the recombinant production of mycobacterial proteins in Mycobacterium smegmatis

Abstract excerpt

Structural and biophysical characterization of molecular mechanisms of disease-causing pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, often requires recombinant expression of large amounts highly pure protein. For the production of mycobacterial proteins, overexpression in the fast-growing and non-pathogenic species Mycobacterium smegmatis has several benefits over the standard Escherichia coli expression...
